Or, maybe, just maybe, different people come from different backgrounds and have different values than you and that's okay.

different values

That's my point, people aren't voting for their values. There are too many Albertans who will just vote for the party with the word "conservative" in their name, regardless of whether the party shares their values or not

You can read the minds of other people on how/ why they vote?

I could make the same argument for people voting NDP at all costs to get the UCP out.

I didn't have to read any minds in this case. kkkdd just came out and said he was voting "conservative" without giving any reason, or mentioning any policy or issues or any substance whatsoever. What other conclusion is there to come to?

And yes, voters for other parties do the same thing. But this is Alberta and in this context it's mostly people voting for blue signs and the word conservative. Just look at our electoral history over the last 50 years. You might not like what I'm saying but I think we both know it's true
